“35-50% of clicks on Reddit Ads are fraudulent”

Extremely unpopular opinion but sometimes I like being targeted. Just last week I was looking for a ceiling lamp but couldn't really find anything I wanted. I finally found one that I liked by seeing it in an ad that was obviously targeted.

It was nice to not having to actively go through the hundreds of pages of lamps and instead get presented a few different ones in each ad group now and then, as a break in my usual feed. The drip exposure also made me contemplate each one in isolation instead of being overwhelmed.

What I don't like is that I keep getting ads for lamps now after I've already bought it.

Are you surfing the web without ad-blocker? For real? But I trust you are sincere. One of my friends sincerely said that he likes ads in movies so he can get up and do stuff during the movies. He felt stuck without ads (Pre-streaming of-course).
